Music Week Presents: CAEZAR

Cheltenham-based Indie-pop trio CAEZAR make a unique crossover of pop, indie and rock elements. Today, they share their newest single, "Somewhere New" displaying emotive piano chords, muted drumbeats and dreamy backing vocals. CAEZAR wrote via email that "Wherever we've performed this track, it has always received an amazing reaction from the crowd".

They add "It's turned into bit of an anthem for adventure-seekers and for those wanting to escape the monotony of day-to-day life. The vocals and the melody of the chorus are so uplifting it's hard not to feel raised-up by it, and with Justin's production on the beats, the track feels full of life."

The two founding members of CAEZAR, Chris Quigley and Rich Gills decided to take their passion for music to the next level when the pair found themselves both suffering from sports injuries that meant they would no longer be able to play rugby for their local club. It was under the lights of the rugby pitch where the two ex-players decided that they would take their previously hidden musical talents to the stage. When Zoe joined the band in 2017, the trio really found their niche. Her soft synths and sweet-as-honey backing vocals helped build on the unique crossover of pop, indie and rock elements that make up the band’s special sound.

CAEZAR has played alongside names such as Hozier, James Bay and Jack Garrett and had the pleasure of playing at the award-winning independent Barn on the Farm Festival as well as being featured on the acclaimed radio platform BBC Music Introducing.

CAEZAR's debut EP‘HAIL!’ will be released via RG Records on 30th November and you can pre-order "Somewhere New" here.
